Voyageurs National Park

Chris took Nathan up Voyageirs National Park for a guys only fishing trip - well, guys only plus Karen! They spent 4 days camping with Steve, Karen, Dave, Talon (4), and Paul.


Talon is a seasoned fisherman. He has been on several fishing trips.




Nathan caught several small moth bass, and this Northern. He was very proud of his catch. They kept this one and ate if for dinner.


Nathan watching (and hopefully learning) how to clean a fish.


Chris's small mouth bass.


Nathan enjoyed picking wild blueberries more than he enjoyed eating them.


The boys also got to check out some old mining trucks that are on display.


That little white and green dot is Nathan - that is one BIG truck!

More Veggies

I just love having a vegetable garden! We have more cucumbers than we know what to do with. The neighbors are probably tired of me begging them to take cucmbers! And the novelty has worn off with the kids; they're pretty tired of cucumbers. But now, something new. Carrots!!
